A DISGRACED ex-rookie cop who was
accused of holding a gun to a female massage parlor worker and refusing to pay
got a conditional dismissal in Queens court on Monday.
Johnny Huang, 35, will not be
sentenced on menacing and harassment charges in the July 27 afternoon incident
at the parlor on Main Street in Flushing.
Huang — who maintains the story
was fabricated by salon staff and that he did not draw a weapon — said he was
there to “investigate human trafficking” on his own accord while off duty. He
was assigned to the 115th Precinct in Queens.
“I was trying to get promoted to
detective,” he said.
“Because of the military I was
proactive and motivated. I try to do as much I can,” said Huang, who told of
being a sergeant in the Army before becoming a cop.
His attorney, Robert Brown, said
the result “vindicates my client,” adding it’s “clear that if he had done
anything wrong” the DA would not have moved to dismiss and seal the case.
A spokeswoman for Queens District
Attorney Richard Brown called it “an appropriate disposition” based on the
evidence and his clean record.
Huang was hired in January 2013
and resigned in September, days before getting a termination letter from the
city.
An Internal Affairs Bureau probe
originally led to his arrest.
